Really worth it?

[tiagoreis24]

Is Horizon Zero Dawn really a masterpiece of a game? I'm thinking about buying because I never played this game before, just wanting a honest opinion of you guys that already bought.

[CajunWaffles]

Sony game... enough said.

[YourWorstNightmare]

its a good game but depends on everyones taste..

[nullno]

to me it was boring, i dont like the controls, i dont like mech animals, but its a good made Game. Just my personal prefrences are somewhere else. I loved AC Origins and odyssey

[iqstow]

not a masterpiece, 15 hours in, I find it boring as hell, and lets not talk about how woke it is

No. For 20% of the price – sure, why not. It's not all bad, but masterpiece it ain't.

Also, AC:BF is better in every respect, came out way before HZD, and costs less, too.

The only positive-in-comparison trait of HZD is female protagonist, but it seems that developers decided that all the feminist appeal excuses QA from play-testing the game somehow, so there are a lot of obvious 2k12-ish console bugs everywhere and several examples of level-design laziness (flying grass, disjointed rails, botched textures, etc).

the action alone is worth, unique and fun. the story not so much imho. why don't you ask a certain fit girl for a full game demo? we are after all, pc masterrace. if you like it, support the devs.

It's a beautiful game, with an interesting story. I have a few issues with gameplay and equipment but I like the game.

If you can overlook the technical issues and the propaganda in it, it's a decent game at its core. Had the chance to play it halfway through at a friend's place, so I have a fairly accurate grasp on the situation. I'm a sucker for the gameplay, since I love using bows in video games.

Unfortunately, however, I also have some solid principles, so not only I'll never buy the game, I also would recommend against getting it. If you can ignore the obvious and hidden messages in the game, go for it. Otherwise, I recommend blacklisting the devs and the publisher altogether.

It's not even about the money, in case you wonder. It's about sending a message, and the only way they would understand is when the money dries up.

TL;DR: Only if you have a soft spot for the gameplay, and can endure the misandry along the propaganda in the game. Almost forgot to mention: The face animations might as well not existed and it would have been better overall.

Good game? That's for sure; a "Masterpiece"? Hummm.... Not imho. But each person have it specific tastes, ask if a game is good in the fanbase of the game isn't the best option in my view, since almost all that is active in the comunity is a Fan of the game. ^^

Honestly, it's a masterpiece. Buy it, it's worth it.

The game is worth it for one run. THe gameplay is cool, it has some interesting mechanics, and really pretty graphics.

The story is... alright. It's a story to keep the gameplay together, not realy special. The characters, dialogue, story related things are mediocre. at times even worse than that. It's just plain boring. Some sort of woke nonsense. So buy it for the gameplay, if you like what you see. In that regard it's worth it.

"woke nonsense"? Woke is not nonsense.

[♜Lilith♜]

well how and where to start.

The story is pretty average nothing too crazy and same with the characters, they're there to fill their role and they do it fine without ever going beyond or below expectations.

The gamplay is fairly fun, the whole elemental stuff and weak points work well. The gameplay only becomes a problem when enemies become "bullet sponges". Some challenges here and there. Just think of the ubisoft formula but you brain cant be completely smooth to beat and understand the game. As for ubi, your brain can be the smoothest thing on earth and you still would beat the game.

Visual are top tier. Game looks great and also lets you use up your specs that you paid top dollar for. The art style is great. Probably one of my favorites as a lot of the designs are a mix of form and function. So to any big tech/mech gecks its nice to see "some" thought was put into the creatures and how they work.

My issue is. The game is the perfect standard for what a game should offer. Its good. It looks even better with how saturated the market has become with ♥♥♥♥ releases and broken games. You'd get 3x the value out of this game over any Ubisoft, EA, Xbox title on the market. I would pay full price but it has aged so honestly id say the game is good to pick up any time. AS FOR THE SECOND ONE... the over estimated how much the could ride the magic of the first and they went full ubisoft mode. Dumb everything down and fill it with immersion/mood ruining comedy and smart ass characters comebacks, etc.

Very worth it in my opinion. One of the best story games I've ever played.

HZD is better than Assassins Creed in every way, unless you’re just really into the cookie cutter treadmill of AC games. If you like Zelda and Fable you’ll love HZD, one of the best games in played in a very long time and now in my top 5 of all time.
